TOLEDO, Ohio — A man charged with murder in a 2021 homicide entered an Alford plea on Monday to involuntary manslaughter in the Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
Prosecutors accused Anthony Laboy of shooting and killing 35-year-old Ryan George in east Toledo in July 2021. Toledo police were dispatched to a call of a person shot on Ironwood Avenue, where George's body was found. An autopsy revealed a single gunshot wound to the back that exited through the neck.
Laboy is set to be sentenced on April 27.
A defendant entering an Alford plea does not admit to committing a crime, but admits the state has sufficient evidence to get a conviction that could lead to a more severe sentence.
